-EL-{P} destroys on "Company Flow" Funcrusher Plus, lyrically this is his best album. He made some adjustments later on down the road, but i respect the fact that he seperates himself from garbage rappers (lil wayne, 50 cent, any wack crap rap on Mtv or Bet.)

-Cannibal Ox "The Cold Vien": EL-P Produced this entire album. The beats were amazing> Iron Galaxy,raspberry fields, B-Boy Alpha, pigeon. He doesn't flow much on this album, but it was Vast aire and vorduls LP.

-Mr. Lif: I phantom: The Beats he produced for Lif were straight fire...I love this album (Have'nt heard Mo' Mega Yet...)

-FANTASTIC DAMAGE: HITIN YOU IN THE HEAD WITH PLASTIC MAGNETS....another ground breaking album from EL

He has done alot of other work with different artist, but those are my favorite albums hes blessed.

I hate El P. His beats are nice but I just can't get over how hard he sucks at life. One of my friends got that revenge of the robots or whatever the fuck that dvd is with him on it and the scene where he is bragging about punching the guy because the guy was talking shit on "such a personal song" or whatever was just sad. Seriously, Stress called PA Mr. Cocky but I think El-p takes the cake here. Anybody that pompous and into their own life that they can't accept someone not appreciating the personal value in their work needs to learn to get over it (and probably needs to have a nicer flow because El-p's rhymes for the most part stay weak... really really weak).
I hate most the guys out of that crew though, the only acceptable artists from that camp to me are Mr. Lif and Murs. I could be wrong but I don't care to dig any deeper into that 18 year old (for 18 year olds) bullshit whiny ass record lable. Might as well be emo music.

[El-Producto]
I'm America arrogant!! Terminus verbal curfew murders
You either purchase my products or you're worthless, that's my service!
Don't look into the oculars of a daylight saver
Eraser, city-headed momument defacer comprising of
patriot droids, sent into the void with lead linings
Employed by the bureaucrats of automatic twisted rhyme timing
You're guaranteed nothing but my fat little finger
that lingers one inch off of the big button -- LET'S START THIS!
I'm Saran gas, hide in your apartments
I'm stealth like a robot hidden in the fat asshole of Cartman
And give a crippling fuck like sand sharkskin condom
to your apparent vaginal problem - the hottest shit on Soundbombing
I'm American til infinite justice measure to Pesticide Cemetary
Invite you to cross the border then SHIT on your divinities
What language is that? I'm angusih in fact, tangle with a
star-spangled standard issue gat for crowd management
Talk loud and get enshrouded in a hot cloud of harassment
by the crowd force of my mental pedestrian checker,
that smashes subordinate skulls and update the file in your dental records
You tried to get elected but the crowd is my paid hecklers (BOO! BOO!)
You just stepped into the spectrum of paranoid word rainbows
Thinkin you sick with a sihlouette, burn transit cop out his plain clothes
I'm America!! This is where the pain grows like poppies
in a Field of Dreams I paid for, I'll burn it down if operated sloppily
COPY? My economic sanction rhyme style got your syllables
scraping for rice and riding in a pre-1960 jalopy
My favorite flavour of gas is mustard
I'm fuckin a blind hermaphrodite icon and convincin you that it's justice!

i love his stuff... rhymes and beats... love both... not feelin murs... and yeah, if you go to an el-p show only to behave like an asshole you can get what you want... i saw this revenge of the robots dvd and later he wasn't proud ... he couldn't handle this situation, slapped this guy... so what? ever went to a rugged man show?

He's a great artist, some stuff people feel, some stuff people don't feel. And as far as his attitude, yeah, he can be pretty ego'd out but, I think that is a biproduct of (almost) single handedly making underground hip-hop a viable force in the marketplace, while still keeping your underground integrity. Not to mention that he started a TRUE indie-label (during a time when that was almost unheard of) when he was like 18 fuckin' years old.

I think El-P can spit when he wants to, though. I mean c'mon check this Simian D shit below:

Illicus, spillicus
Plus funcrush that's killin this
Willingly similar pendages
Filling this blank page with syllabus
Centuries certified murder hurts
Best when flesh left on quarterized
Labeled my words in the dirty earth
Feelin this

And if people think that his shit is gibberish, then they better say the same about MF Doom, too.

Funcrusher is classic and when written, EL-P could spit, but have you heard him freestyle?

steady doo doo

I actually haven't heard him freestyle. Where can I?

I really don't hate on people who can't freestyle, I mean, it's just a different style and I don't think that MC's should be required to do it. It's like saying "Crazy Legs can break but have you seen him try ballet? He sucks". Actually, it's not that extreme of a difference but, I'm just trying to say, I don't really care if a certain artist can or can't freestyle...unless, of course, the dude thinks he/she is amazing with the freestyle flow and actually sucks....then it's worth noting.

On the same note, has anybody ever heard kweli freestyle? He spoke at my school last spring and during the Q&A a guy asked him to freestyle. It wasn't bad, but it sure as hell wasn't good, either. I dunno, I just expected a little more from him.

i was at the show where el-p punked the dude in the audience. he was drunk and acting a fool. definitely deserved the verbal assault el-p gave him. it would be like someone yelling at nick drake while he was on stage.

el-p's got mad rhymes. i am surprised that you guys wouldn't like him. i see a lot of similarities between him and mf doom. and seeing how you guys jock everything that ever comes out on stones throw and you are doom fanatics this surprises me.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------That clip was from "Revenge of the robots." That portion of the dvd has EL-p, vast, aesop, and most the jukie's talkin about life, their music, and the state of hip hop which was great because you don't really here from them behind the music. check out the DVD if you're a fan of HIP HOP, its nice..

It's like El-p lowered the lights, the mood came down, the crowd chatter died down and he told us he was going to play some serious shit, then this one dude is just acting out. i just meant that i am sure a nick drake show would be very mellow and calm and if some guy started acting like a dumb ass then im sure he would be carried out. probably not attacked by nick drake though. it was more the environment i was comparing not similar artistic qualities by any means.
